The Analyze Tab (sequential ui mode)

Analyze Tab (Sequential UI Mode)

This tab provides access to all of OpticStudio's analysis features in Sequential Mode. Almost all imaging system design is done in this mode. Analysis features provide detailed performance data over a wide range of requirements. Analysis features never change the underlying design, but provide diagnostic information on the design that is used to guide any required changes.

The System Viewers group gives access to the layout plots that are used to view the optical system itself.

The Image Quality group provides access to all the analyses used in the design of imaging and afocal systems, including ray trace data, aberration data, wavefront, Point Spread Functions and more.

Lasers and Fibers group gives access to laser-system-specific features such as simple Gaussian Beam Analysis, Physical Optics and fiber coupling calculations.

Polarization and Surface Physics computes the performance of thin-film coatings on individual surfaces, diffraction efficiency, overall system performance as a function of polarization and plots of surface sag, phase and curvature.

Reports group provides text-based analyses for presentation purposes.

Universal Plots allow you to create your own analysis features if required.

Applications show application-specific analysis features such as Biocular system analysis, freeform and Progressive Addition Lens analysis, and also access to the full Non-Sequential features of OpticStudio.

If the lens uses multiple configurations, the Configuration group is also shown (see "The Setup Tab").
